Yeah, I see your point. I don't think you're the only one. The only good thing is that the shows you're missing, well, you're not really missing, they are just on hold for 2 weeks. So you're not missing out on something other's are enjoying, everyone is in the same boat.
As for every channel showing the Olympics, well, I can't blame the networks for wanting to sell to the masses. Like I said before, the Olympics are popular - especially in the US which currently leads the medal ranks. If you were in Europe a couple months ago the TVs would have been blitzed with the EUFA soccer tournament, but since North Americans don't really care about it we were spared that interruption (although of course I caught it on the Sports network).
Anyway, if you don't care for athletics, then you don't care for athletics. The good news is that it's only 2 weeks every 4 years. I can only suggest you see this as a break from routine and perhaps try something new. I certainly don't think it's good to allow this two week break to make you miserable.
